Your First Visit

We look forward to meeting you at your first visit to our office. During this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn more about orthodontic treatment. Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile that you have always wanted. We offer a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to provide you with customized, individual care. We will work with you so that your orthodontic care is as comfortable, convenient, and rewarding as possible.

Your initial consultation with us will consist of a complete examination and discussion of potential treatment options. This important visit will address your orthodontic needs and concerns to determine if this is the proper time to begin treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Lam will:

  • Review your dental and medical history
  • Perform a complete oral examination
  • Provide a clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem, and
  • Create a customized treatment plan if orthodontic treatment is indicated

Our treatment coordinator will discuss financial information, insurance options, and payment plans. We will explain everything that you need to know about your orthodontic treatment so that you can choose what is best for you.

We encourage questions from both the patient and the parent, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions. We feel that the better educated and informed you are about orthodontics, the better your treatment will progress.
